What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a role that fosters innovation and allows for mentorship opportunities while working on impactful projects.

I'm a Senior Software Engineer with over 9 years of full-stack experience across various industries, including fintech, healthcare, education, and logistics. My expertise lies in Java, Spring Boot, and CI/CD, with a strong emphasis on test-driven development (TDD). I have a proven track record of modernizing legacy systems and mentoring developers, which has significantly improved team performance and project outcomes.

In my current role at For People, I lead backend development for a Medicaid Drug Program, enhancing access to affordable prescriptions for millions. I also oversee database design and performance optimization, ensuring data integrity for mission-critical applications. My collaborative approach in Agile environments has allowed me to troubleshoot production issues effectively and maintain high code quality.

Throughout my career, I have played key roles in developing innovative solutions, such as a new loan origination system that processes 250 applications daily. My ability to integrate complex systems and mentor mid-level developers has been instrumental in driving project success and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
